The new regulations respecting the adnis- sion of students to the University of St. Pe- tersburg are of restrictive character, and have for their object the exclusion of individ- uals whose trustworthiness in 8 political sense is doubtful. Thus each candidate for the university must produce, in addition to certificate of competency, another from the gymnasium at which he has been educated. It is also made sine qua non that students attending the university should reside either with their parents or their guardians, who are held responsible for the good conduct of the young men. Restrictions are also placed in the way of Hebrews desirous of entering the university, on the ground that the pre- ponderating influence of the Hebrew element is detrimental to the well being of the stu dents in general.

Every State that was in the confede- racy, says the Register, has in it's constitution

 The operatives in the cotton mills of Geor-
 gia are trying to prevent the enactment of a
 law limiting the number of hours in days
 work. The employers believe in shortening
 the time, on the theory that they can get
 better work out of an operative who is not
 tired, while the operatives want to earn as
 many hours wages as possible in day.
 The interesting statement is made in the last municipal reports of the corporation of
 Chelsea, near London, that, contrary to what has generally been assumed in the relations of occupation and health, the sewermen of 1 that place show marvellous health and vii tality, notwithstanding they spend seven hours daily in the sewers, often in cramped up positions, dealing with offensive and dan gerous matter. One of the sewermen, who is
 now pensioned off, is eighty-six years old, and was sewerman for more than twenty eight years; another, who is yet at work, is seventy-four, and has followed this occupa- tion more than thirty years.

THE PRESIDENT PUTS HIS
SIGN MANUAL TO THE

Bill, and Huntsville Wins
Another Grand Step in
Her Onward March,.
RIIildinO
From the Daily Mercury.

From the Daily Mercury
Mayor Mastin received a telegram yes
terday afternoon from Gen. Wheeler,
which conveyed the very gratifying in
formation that President Cleveland had
signed the bill appropriating 100000 for
the erection of public building in this
city.
vi course our people were made to re>
joice over this new link in the golden
chain OF industrial enterprises and up
ward and onward march of Huntsville.
The last thirty days has witnessed a
character OF enterprise and progress that
promises more for Huntsville than in ali
the twenty five years since the war.
The construction of the Huntsville &
Flora Railroad has begun, and several
hundred hands are pushing the work
forward and in 6 or months, through
trains will be running into Huntsville
from Nashville.
The laying OF the track of the Hunts
vile Street Railway is under headway.
and the cars will be running by summer.
And ultimately will be extended to
Monte Sano to connect with the magnif
icent new Hotel there.
And now comes the Public Building,
to cost 100000 which under iudicious
expenditure ought te give us one Of the
handsomest buildings in the country.
1t is to be hoped, as it should be, that
the Public Building will be located where
it will be best for Huntsvile-most con-
venient to the public interests and de-
mands, and where it will reflect the
greatest attraction and beauty to cur
city.
We have every reason to believe our
people will heartily take hold OF the
freight question, and can give her peo.
pie and manufacturing enterprises as
cheap freight, as cheap coal as any point
in the State.
In fact Huntsville will then for all
practical purpose be absolutely on the
banks OF the Tennessee river. Now let
our people unite and move forward.
